Tanning lotions can be used any time of
the day and year. You don’t have to wait until it’s warm outside and the
sun is up. It can be cloudy or cold outside and you can still get a tan.
Self-tanning lotions don’t replace the sun, but they
help solve the problem of wanting to get a tan without spending hours
outside. They offer an inexpensive and fast way to get the look you
want.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Using a tanning lotion is safer than baking in the sun. Any doctor will
tell you that too much sun can be dangerous. It is especially harmful
for people predisposed to developing skin cancer and people taking
medications that make them sensitive to light. A variety of medical
conditions are exacerbated by too much sunlight.
Tanning lotions can be used any time of the day and year. You don’t have
to wait until it’s warm outside and the sun is up. It can be cloudy or
cold outside and you can still get a tan.
Tanning lotions take only a few minutes to apply. Few people can afford
to spend hours lying around in the sun every day to get the perfect tan.
Using a tanning lotion saves time. This in itself is a great savings for
most people; who can’t use more time?
On the other hand, tanning lotions don’t produce the real thing. While
many people can’t tell the tan is not real, those with a trained eye can
see the difference.
Another disadvantage of using a lotion is that your tan may be uneven or
spotty. Also, you may have to get help to apply lotion to those
hard-to-reach places on your back.
Finally, using a tanning lotion isn’t nearly as much fun as going to the
beach and spending hours dozing to the sound of the surf!
